Brandon Crowe argues that Jesus is identified in the Gospels as the last Adam whose obedience recapitulates and overcomes the sin of the first Adam. Crowe shows that Jesus's obedience is presented by the Evangelists as the obedience of an anointed representative, which is counted vicariously on behalf of his people. Key topics covered include Jesus's baptism and temptation, his fulfillment of Scripture, the necessity of his works, the binding of the strong man and the inbreaking of the kingdom, and Jesus's death and resurrection. Crowe also discusses how his argument interfaces with systematic theology and the church's creedal traditions, which are often thought to say little about Jesus's life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCorrecting the Christian tendency to minimize the life of Jesus,\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Last Adam\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eexplains why the Gospels include much more than the Passion Narratives and shows that all four Gospels present Jesus's obedient life as having saving significance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e1.
